We are printing In our columns this
week, copies of the old “Astro” and
“Phi” songs by special request.
Phllaretlan Society Song
Oh, Philaretlans, wake to glory.
(Air: The Marseillaise)
Hark, hark, the faithful bid you rise!
Past triumphs told In song and story
Bid you press on to win the prize.
And lo, thy daughters, Phllaretla,
Thy glory bright will e’er uphold
New fame shall future days unfold
And thou shalt triumph all victorious.
Then rise and glory win.
Take up thy laurels fair.
Then raise, oh raise all voices high
In Phllaretlan praise.
Press onward with your chief to glory.
Your violet banner raise on high.
Oh linger none, but sing the story.
The boost and pride of every Phi
The story of our Phllaretla.
So brave and true, the college pride.
And standing nobly by her side
Together we press on to victory.
Astrotekton Society Song
(Air: Watch on the Rhine
They come, the voices of the land.
And cry to us for heart and hand.
The sea sends back the thundering
roar,
“We need thee most along the shore.”
Chorus:
We hear thy call, we come to thee;
We hear thy call, we come to thee.
We Astro girls will watch the stars
with glee.
We Astro girls will watch the stars,
the sea.
The earth demands that we live here.
While bright and fair in airy sphere
The stars send down the silvery call,
“The old earth must not have you
all.”
Ye, Astro girls, the cry is loud;
Shouts come to us through sun and
cloud.
Then shout the answer once again.
And sing aloud the glad refrain.
TRACK PRACTICE

ENTHUSIASM AND PEP
GIRLS IMPROVING AND WORKING
Rockingham, N. C.
March 2, 1928.
“Oh', Here’s where we may turn and go
—Down paths of memory
Back to the land we used to know, the
Land of used to be.”
This thought has run through the
minds of many Meredith Alumnae of
Richmond County of recent days.
The new interest in Meredith was
aroused within dormant alumnae by
reason of a Meredith night in connec
tion with the Centennial Campaign
here in Rockingham. As a result a
Meredith Alumnae Club was organized
in Richmond County on Thursday,
February 23.
Meeting at the home of Mrs. A. W.
Porter In Rockingham the Club was
organized with the following officers:
President, Mrs. A. W. Porter; Vice
President, Mrs. J. P. Butler, Hoffman;
Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. Chas. B.
Deane, Rockingham; Miss Allie Mc
Intosh, Reporter.
Following the organization the Club
pledged itself to a program that will
bring about an influence with High
School graduates to attend Meredith;
keeping in close touch with our Rich
mond County girls now at Meredith,
and at all times knowing what our
College has as its program. And doing
our part to see the Centennial come
“Oh! me! oh my leg, oh my arm!”
Groaned many girls on Tuesday morn
ing as they rolled out of bed stiff and
sore. And what for? Why track of
course. They had gone out on the
athletic field the day before to learn
the proper way to hurdle, get started
for the hundred yard dash, throw the
baseball and basketball and hurl the
discus and javelin. Since exercise
had been for a long time practically un
known to them they were as they ex
pressed it just about dead.”
However that was two weeks ago.
This morning after an afternoon of
track, they wake up feeling fine and
ready for all the Math and Latin that
ever existed. Part of this good feeling
comes from track exercise and part of
it comes from keeping training rules.
Of course they keep the rules, since
the secret of success in track is to
keep in good condition. Every girl
that is not coming out for track
should surely start practicing as soon
as possible. There’s not a better way
in the world to get recreation and the
exercise keeps you in good health, then
too, you surely want to help your class
be first in track activities.
Up to this time the following girls
have been out for track:
Bessie Barker, Ruth Lowdermilk,
Victoria Boney, Belle Bryant, Mary
Cheeves, Zelma Hocutt, Louise Ange,
Alma Hocutt, Sara Cobb, Miriam
Daughtery, Lydia Beavers, Mary Mor
gan, Dot Rowland, Mattie Lassiter,
Elizabeth James, Elizabeth Boomhour,
Gretchen Cheek, Lucy Buchanan,
Bernice Snider, Nettie Pearl Tillie,
Francis Scarborough, Sarah Briggs,
Mathilda Holleman, Elizabeth Apple,
Mary Virginia King, Elizabeth Ayscue,
May Belle Lee, Juanita Sorrell, Doris
Hewlett, Eunice Boone, Estelle Wil
kins, Jo Bradley, Jane Green, Mary
Buie, Lora Dills, Katie Lee Watson,
Margaret Lucas, Sybil Hamrick, Sarah
Oliver, Mary Lee Copeland.
We have heard it whispered that
thru to a glorious end for our Alma
Mater.
Those attending the meeting gained
that old spirit of Meredith, her ideals
and visions and would “go back to the
land we used to know—the land of
used to be.”
We feel that this renewal of the
visions, ideals and thoughts of the past
will enable us to live a better present.

horseback riding is becoming a sport
at Meredith! Just watch out for our
sports.
EUROPEAN TOUR
“Tuck” (as they strolled along):
What was the first thing you saw turn
green this spring, dearest?
Katherine: Why-er the pin you gave
me last Christmas, dear.
(Continued from page one)
judge in what their fellow-students
over here would be interested.
The fact that the tours are subsidized
and that much private hospitality is
offered on the other side enables the
C.. I. E. to set the price much lower
and the time actually spent in Europe
much longer than the average tour.
More than eight full weeks are spent
in Europe, including two weeks left
entirely to the devices of the student
tourists in Paris and Geneva. Free
time is also given in other countries
visited. Unlike many other so-called
student tours, these are run on an ab
solutely non-profit basis.
The C. I. E. has emphasied in its
preliminary announcement that it is
best able to entertain small groups, so
parties are limited to fourteen, includ
ing the student leader. There are ten
tours being offered, in all of which
time is allowed in London, Paris and
Geneva. Two of these, devoting five
weeks to Europe have been especially
introduced this year to meet the needs
of students who are unable to devote a
longer time to their European visit.
But as far as possible the members
of these tours will receive the same
cordial welcome and intimate insight
into student foreign life as the others.
The Student Council is in possession
of further information about these
tours. Student considering them are
urged to take prompt action. Several
tours are already booked to the maxi
mum and the limited number to be
provided for will soon be enrolled.
